A flier denouncing a Latino mayoral candidate is being criticized for using “racist stereotypes.”
The San Diego chapter of the Lincoln Club, a conservative, national pro-business political action committee that promotes “fiscally responsible public policy,” mailed out fliers in January showing City Councilman David Alvarez, who is running to become San Diego’s first Latino mayor, flashing what some say is a gang sign and holding a wad of cash. The images, which feature a scowling Alvarez, are clearly Photoshopped.
